The Spell of Summer and Summer's End – two books: heartfelt contemporary romance set in Cornwall.

★★★★★
"The Spell of Summer is possibly her best book yet..."
–Author, Elizabeth Morgan

Broken Lights – a gritty romantic suspense set in Whitechapel, London, on a cold December night.

★★★★★
"What I loved especially about this read was not only its uniqueness in the genre creating a fresh and bold read, but the strength of the characters. Norman especially was a character who was easy to fall in love with. His brokenness was endearing and his road to discovery was lovely."
– Bex 'n' Books

'Til Death Do Us Part (an adult retelling of The Little Mermaid)

"I would highly recommend this story to anyone who has ever been in love before."
–Night Owl Reviews, 4.25 STARS

A Silver Kiss (Vampire Poetry)

Dark and daring vampire poetry. What readers have said: "Beautiful little poems, with a vampire theme running through them, but written in such a way, you can only think of them as an art form." (Goodreads.com)
